Things that my English teacher has actually said:
âUse your heads, theyâre not just for decoration. Actually theyâre not even for decorationâ
âWhy would I say something I donât mean, Iâm not a grade 8 student.â
*reading someoneâs essay* âItâs not bad. Well thatâs the best I can think of to say about itâ
âI want to say no, and I will.â
âI wish I was an artist so I could paint this scene and call it, âIncomprehensionâ.â
âYou have to go, huh? Got a game to lose for our school?â
*talking about the sound of waves* âDonât you love that sound? Aside from the sound of sobbing children, itâs my favourite.â
âGet the calculator out of your mouth, I feel like Iâm a daycare teacher.â
ââYouâre perfect, donât alter a thing.â Thatâs a sentence no one will ever say to you.â
âLalalala thatâs what I hear when you speak.â
âToo bad Harry Potter hadnât been in a duel early onâ and lost.â
I thought you were going to say âa friend of my momâs is the best friend of mineâ and I would think âoh thatâs so sad.ââ
*someone has to leave to go to an interview* âInterview? Who would want to interview you? â
âEveryone listen as [personâs name] whispers it. Letâs see if you can hear what sheâs saying.â
âYou think I give you bad marks on purpose like, âoh she hates meâ. Newsflash! I donât like any of you.â
âYou look like a baby drinking out of that bottle, [personâs name].â
âFor the first time, Iâm glad Iâm your English teacher, rather than your mother.â
âTurn that frown upside down.â
âI could ask the budgies that live in my house to peck out the answer to this and they could do it.â
âIâm not boring, you are.â
âIn the unlikely event that [personâs name] and I were friends.â
âWhat kind of a moron move is that?â
*someone has their sweater pulled up over their head* âNot that itâs not an improvement because it covers your face, but what are you doing?â
âIâm not reading that light pencil, it looks like a bird dipped its feet in water and danced across the page.â
âDonât look in your notes! Oh right, youâd have to have notes wouldnât you?â
âYou could kill someone with a pen, but thatâd be a lot of work.â
âI could pluck one of those prep school kids through the window and ask him what this is, and after he stopped crying, heâd be able to tell me.â
*loud clapping from down the hallway* âWhatâs that clapping for? Maybe someone remembered something in French class. Iâd clap if you remembered something.â
âDoes anyone really need 30 corpses?â
âWhen you look up âinsolentâ, you might find a little picture of yourselves in the dictionary.â
âIâm tempted to make this poetry test so hard, youâll have post traumatic stress disorder, youâll need therapy dogs.â
âOK, one more disappointment and then weâll move on.â
âI promise, with Satan as my witness.â
âEveryone in here is cheerful except me.â
*school was going through a heatwave and the ac wasnât working* âWhat are they going to do, turn off all the air, have a âHello, Silenceâ project and watch us all slowly asphyxiate?â
âThis school is a place that gives new opportunities. Yeah, opportunities to suffocate.â
âThis school is a place where the technology never works.â
*talking to the computer* âYes, Iâm sure I want to restart my computer.â
âZombies and shambling go together like peanut butter and anaphylaxis.â
*people touring the school walk past the classroom* âThereâs a tour going by, thatâs why Iâm pretending to be nice, and not yell at you. Theyâll be gone soon.â
âLetâs see who will delight us with a little reading, and the rest of you will delight us with a little silence!â
*the power goes out* âDonât panic, maybe itâs a serial killer who came to kill us and they cut the power.â
âA little torture is always good.â
âI donât like to start my day off yelling, I like to work my way up to it.â
âCan you say it in a normal voice and not like a little mouse drowning?â
*she calls out the name of someone to come get their essay and they remain seated* âIâm not running a delivery service. This isnât âUber Essayâ.
âYou have an exam coming towards you like a runaway train. Some of you should imagine yourselves strapped to the tracks, about to be sliced into several pieces.â
*someone didnât know a word while she was trying to insult him* âI canât even insult you, your vocabularies are so pathetic.â
